Synthesis, crystal structures and photophysical properties of two supramolecular complexes of cadmium(II)

Two Cd supramolecular complexes are obtained from diffusion method and characterized by X-ray crystallography, fluorescence spectroscopy and IR spectra. In both compounds, the Cd2+ atoms are linked by sip3− into a one-dimensional zig zag chain. The zigzag chains are further linked together by hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions to form supramolecular open frameworks.
